Smoke Alarm Installations
The innovation of smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms has had a tremendous impact upon survival rates across the country. Though they are relatively easy to install and maintain, BFD firefighters would be happy to visit your home or workplace to help you understand proper operation, maintenance, and location of these devices. We would be happy to test them, and even install them for you. Please use our “Contact Us” page and ask for BFD to help you with your detectors. We’d love to help.

Child Seat Installations
The Brighton Fire Department has a certified car seat technician and would be happy to assist residents of our fire district with ensuring that infant / child car seats are installed correctly.
Installations and evaluations are done strictly by appointment only. Unscheduled walk-ins are not accepted. Fitting stations will be held on a monthly basis. We would welcome your inquiry to be included in our next fitting station event.
Please use our Contact Us page to arrange an appointment. If you can’t wait for our next fitting station event, feel free to go to www.monroecounty.gov/safety-childsafety for other locations and opportunities in Monroe County.
Knox Box
For many years, BFD has partnered with the Knox Company, who manufactures small key vaults that are installed on the exterior of a building. By placing your key within the Knox Box mounted on the outside of your home or business, firefighters and other emergency responders will simply use BFD’s secure Master Key to open the Knox Box to allow us rapid entry in an emergency situation – without wasting precious time or doing extensive damage to your property to gain entrance.
Here’s how to obtain a KnoxBox compatible with BFD’s Master Key:

Fill out the form, and, please enter requested information to find “Brighton Fire Department”. (Please note, we are not “West Brighton FD”).
